Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Noisy Pipes in Your Home

If your pipes are banging, clanking, or vibrating, it’s more than just an irritating sound, it’s often a sign that something in your plumbing system isn’t working as it should.

One common cause is water hammer, which happens when water flow is suddenly forced to stop, creating a shockwave that makes pipes jump or rattle. Loose pipe brackets, worn valves, trapped air, or rapid-closing taps can make the noise even worse.

Another overlooked cause is fluctuating water pressure. When pressure rises above safe levels, the pipes struggle to handle the force, leading to more noise and, in some cases, risk of damage.

Addressing noisy pipes early prevents leaks, joint failures, or long-term pipe damage. At Ardent Utilities, we diagnose the cause, secure loose pipework, check pressure levels, and fit the right components to keep your system quiet and safe.
